Patient's question:
Menstrual bleeding has been continuous for over two months. Sometimes the flow is heavy with clots, and at other times it is very light.Doctor's answer:
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is a common gynecological disorder, often seen during puberty and menopause. Clinically, it is characterized by the loss of normal, regular menstrual cycles, replaced by excessive bleeding at varying frequencies and prolonged menstrual periods. There are no apparent organic lesions in the internal or external genitalia, nor are there pregnancy complications or systemic bleeding disorders. Causes of menstrual disorders, including those leading to DUB, can include excessive mental stress, changes in environment and climate, fatigue, malnutrition, or metabolic disorders, among others. Treatment for this condition requires standardized medication under the guidance of a specialist doctor and should not be self-medicated. If the condition is not controlled after completing the medication, it is necessary to return to the hospital for follow-up (you may consult with another doctor). Rest and hygiene should be maintained during this period. On the 3rd to 5th day of the next menstrual period, an endocrine examination should be conducted at the hospital, following the doctor's specific instructions.
